As I write this article on Friday, we await Cyclone Alfred to cross the coast tomorrow morning. We live very close to the waterfront, and the predictions say it will be five to ten kilometres north of us. To be honest, we are a little anxious, yet we trust God to look after us. He has always been faithful to us.

On Friday night we experienced high winds and rain. This was only the opening act for Saturday night. It was very intense. We had relentless 100km winds and near horizontal rain.

Many Christian songs include reference to storms, and this is used metaphorically to depict the trials and tribulations people face. The hymn 'A Mighty Fortress Is Our God' by Martin Luther is a powerful declaration of God's protection. It does not explicitly mention storms, however, some of its verses can be applied to the theme of facing life's storms with faith. Here are a few relevant lines: "A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing." Luther speaks of God as a strong refuge, protecting His people even in life’s overwhelming circumstances.

Scripture frequently portrays people encountering storms while in boats, emphasising both the power of nature and God's deliverance.

The prophet Jonah (1:4) experienced a tempest: "Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up."

Additionally, the apostle Paul endured a dramatic shipwreck. In Acts (27:13–28:10), he faced “a wind of hurricane force, called the Northeaster” near Crete. In 2 Corinthians (11:25), he also recounts, “Three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea.”

Similarly, Jesus' disciples encountered a ferocious storm on the Lake of Galilee, fearing for their lives. Yet, Jesus came to them walking on the water and calmed the storm with a word Mark (6:45–52). This moment echoes the Old Testament book of Job, drawing a connection between Yahweh’s power over creation and Jesus’ divine authority and deity.

I am also reminded of the story of John Wesley crossing the Atlantic on board a sailing ship bound for America. On 25 January 1736, he observed a striking contrast between two groups of passengers during a fierce storm. As the violent squall tore through the ship, the English passengers cried out in fear, while a group of German Protestant Moravians remained calm, singing hymns with unwavering faith. Wesley was deeply moved by their humility and trust in God. When he asked if they were afraid, one replied, “No; our women and children are not afraid to die.” This experience profoundly impacted Wesley. It challenged his own trust in God.

On Friday and Saturday, I unconsciously sang these lyrics from Reuben Morgan's song “Still.” They were very comforting words as the storm approached:

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still, know You are God

Listen to the full song here

In life's severest storms, we are reminded that God is our stronghold and strength. Just as He calmed the seas for the disciples and delivered His people through tempests, He remains sovereign over every trial we face. He is our true and faithful shelter in every storm.

Grace and Peace.

Dear Parents

I invite you to take part in an important longitudinal survey: What Parents Want – a survey by Independent Schools Queensland. This survey explores the decision-making process parents undertake when choosing an independent school, including:

• Cultural influences
• Online and offline sources of information
• The relative importance of various factors in school selection

We encourage parents of Prep, Year 7, and new students to complete the survey, but all parents are welcome to participate.

The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete.

Click here to take the survey

Understanding why families choose independent schools—and specifically, why you chose St Peters—is invaluable. Your insights will help us continue to meet the needs of our community and provide our leadership team with a strong foundation to formulate future strategies.

St Peters is committed to listening to our community, and we appreciate your participation in this valuable survey. The survey closes on 24 March.

Yours sincerely

Lisa Delaney
Deputy Head of College

Year 12 Wellbeing Leaders

We are delighted to introduce our two Year 12 Wellbeing Leaders for 2025, Daniel T and Lexie R. This marks the inaugural year of this leadership role within our Year 12 cohort, reflecting our ongoing commitment to student wellbeing. Our two leaders will play an instrumental role in supporting the implementation of Visible Wellbeing practices across Prep–Year 12 in the first year of our partnership with Professor Lea Waters. We look forward to working with Dan and Lexie as they contribute to shaping and guiding the wellbeing experience for our students and the wider St Peters community throughout the year ahead.

Dr Justin Coulson Webinar

Emotional Regulation: A Heart-Centred Approach to Supporting Your Child

Meltdowns, outbursts, and challenging behaviours can leave us feeling lost and unsure of how to help. It’s tough when our kids are struggling with big emotions! What we sometimes forget is that these behaviours usually stem from overwhelming feelings that our children don’t yet have the tools to manage.

In his recent webinar on Emotional Regulation, Dr Justin Coulson shares a powerful guide for parents to help children understand and regulate their emotional world. This presentation outlines a five-step 'emotion coaching' process that brings together the very best in emotional intelligence research from Dr John Gottman, the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence, and others to build children’s resilience, increase wellbeing for the whole family, and develop healthier humans.

At St Peters, we recognise that Emotional Management is a key pathway to overall wellbeing. As identified by Professor Lea Waters in her Visible Wellbeing approach, developing the skills to understand, regulate, and express emotions positively enhances resilience, relationships, and overall life satisfaction. By fostering these skills in our students, we empower them to navigate challenges with confidence and contribute to a thriving school community.

If you were unable to attend the live webinar on Wednesday 12 March, you can access the recording through our Happy Families school subscription here using the password happysplci.

Wellbeing and Positive Education Leaders

In the wake of the recent cyclone and flooding, our thoughts are with all those in our community who have been affected. Many families have faced challenges over the past few days, and we want to extend our deepest empathy to those dealing with disruptions, uncertainty, or damage to their homes.

At St Peters Primary Years, we have also felt the impact, with several classrooms affected by flooding. Our team is working hard to restore these spaces, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenges together.

Above all, the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff, and families remain our highest priority. Please know that we are here to support you, and if your family needs assistance, do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your ongoing support and resilience as we work together to recover and move forward.

Hear from our Primary Years Leaders…

"To me, leadership means helping each other and being kind to each other in small ways but ways that make them happier and give them a stronger connection with each other and St Peters until they are people who want to be… like a giant Mexican wave of happiness. To achieve balance in my St Peters life, I try my hardest in every subject and at lunchtimes, I sometimes just talk, sometimes play (which is a balance) and on the weekends I chill with my friends which usually gives me energy. I usually don’t have anything on Sunday, which gives my energy back in full, so I can try my hardest for the week ahead. As a 2025 Primary Years leader, I hope to achieve a stronger bond between students and teachers, a cleaner lunch space and workspace and more mindful students." Quincy R

"To me, leadership means to take initiative and to set an example to others. Leadership is also about bringing out the best in others and being supportive of your peers. I achieve balance by playing music, talking with parents, and playing with my friends. I also plan out the week, figuring out which days I do my homework and which days I don't. As the 2025 Music Captain, I hope to encourage others to play a musical instrument and to help find a hobby for other people." Max Z

"Leadership means being mature and showing leadership to others without being asked to. Everyone is a leader, so remember that leaders are made, not born. I achieve balance at St Peters by using my diary and getting things done quickly and quietly so I’m not behind at school." Aurora W

"I think that being a leader means to lead by example and to lead others on a pathway to success. It is really important not only to stand up when required but also to step down and to let others have a go. I believe in the importance to inspire others to do as well or even better than they believe they can, and to help guide the Primary Years by example, hopefully leaving some legacy through faith and service.
I think that a great way to achieve balance at St Peters is to be mindful of my time, my day and my priorities. I am a proud user of lists, as these help me to prioritise things from most important to ‘may be attended to later’. I think I’m very blessed with the amazing range of opportunities that St Peters offers, and with the support of my parents and teachers, I am trying to achieve balance in my life by considering a well-rounded experience through the arts, sport, and academia, in line with our Plus Ultra motto. Balance is an ongoing learning journey for me and I try my best every day, even though most days may not be as balanced as I would like. I would like to leave a legacy, even if that means inspiring a single person to be better than they think they can be through setting a good example of someone who tries, knowing that trying and succeeding are not always the same thing." Levi S

Introducing Our Primary Sport Standards

At St Peters, our Primary Sport Standards form the foundation for all Sport in the Primary School. These standards drive consistency, skill development, and a love of Sport across every year level, ensuring all students have the opportunity to grow and thrive in a supportive environment. Aligned with the PYP Learner Profiles, they focus not only on athletic ability but also on building well-rounded, resilient athletes with strong character.

We encourage parents, teachers, and coaches to engage with these standards to support our students' growth. Parents are invited to discuss the standards with their children, using them as a tool to measure progress and set personal goals. Coaches will be holding students accountable, helping them strive towards these benchmarks and develop both their sporting skills and personal resilience.

By ensuring the whole Primary community is involved, we’re fostering a shared commitment to developing a lifelong passion for physical activity and Sport.
